So, WI things play out differently and Elizabeth Woodville conceives a son with Edward IV, giving birth to a prince (who we'll call *Edward V here, for clarity's sake) in early 1466, rather than a daughter as in OTL?

What are the possible long term and short term effects of this scenario?

In particular, how will this effect the King's relationship with the Earl of Warwick and his brother Clarence? Will events play out differently than in OTL with Edward IV in a much more secure position earlier in his reign? Or will Warwick still rebel and attempt a Lancastrian restoration or to put Clarence on the throne And looking further ahead, if Edward IV still dies in 1483 as in OTL, I assume that *Edward V will be in a much stronger position, as he'll already be seventeen and there will be no need for a regency?
